Replying To head4dblackspot: "Ciaron Byrne is actually a Ratoath man Played for ratoath and went to school in Ratoath parish and was brought up in ratoath parish Won a minor for ratoath"

If my memory is correct Ciaran is a Ratoath man , and played most if not all his Juvenile football with Ratoath , he may have won a minor with Ratoath in the mid 80s , but I know he was on the amalgamation team of St Martins I believe when they won the Minor around 85-87. they were Dunshaughlin and others . ( A bit like the UN ) Allen Foley was Captain that year . After that I recall that Ciaran transferred to Dunshaughlin , where he was part of the 3 in a row under Eamon Barry .....Possibly our last real tilt at Leinster ....

I wouldn't suspect that it is Seamus Kenny who is going to them, not his brother who just left his role with Simonstown to take a break. Ratoath are a bit of a basket case and will take a lot of fixing. They have been consistently getting to championship finals and winning a lot of them at minor and u21 level but haven't been able to push on at Senior level. Having so many players away with Meath for the majority of the season does definitely effect them, however that is not the only issue that they have.

Seamus Kenny would be a fantastic coup for Ratoath. Anytime I got close to the pitch when he was playing for Meath I could see that he was a leader of the group and tended to call the tactics and bring on the players around him.

He would need to bring a backup team with him and avoid any carry over from the existing set up. They really need a new broom treatment
